2016 Fantasy Baseball Rankings & ProjectionsOutfielder #64

64. Jackie Bradley Jr. BOSBA - .258HR - 15RBI - 73Runs - 80SB - 8

It'll be interesting to see what the Red Sox do with Jackie Bradley Jr. this year. Last season Jackie broke out offensively in the second half hitting .267 with nine home runs and 17 doubles in just 191 post All Star at bats.

Boston is loaded with Outfield talent but could use Bradley Jr. as their everyday Left Fielder this year and beyond. Jackie is one of the best defensive Outfielders in the game today, in 238 career games he's made just three errors (one each season of his career) and recorded 18 Outfield assists. He posted a .994 fielding percentage last season and had eight defensive runs saved. Offensively he hit .320 at home (.186 on the road) and posted an OPS 334 points higher at Fenway. Bradley Jr. was selected as a supplemental first round pick (40th overall) in the 2011 MLB Draft as compensation for the Red Sox losing Adrian Beltre to the Texas Rangers through free agency.

Despite his terrific defensive play, I'm not going to draft Jackie this year in Fantasy leagues, but I am going to keep an eye on him in the early part of the season in case he picks up where he left off in the second half of last season, hitting everything in sight.
